On May 8, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov took part in the commissioning ceremony of the second stage of the Baherden cement plant with a capacity of 1 million tons of cement per year, reports the State News Agency of Turkmenistan.
The Baherden cement plant, commissioned in February 2005, is one of the largest such enterprises in the Central Asian region. The most popular grades of cement are produced here, which ensure the high pace of construction ongoing in Turkmenistan.
The second stage of the industrial giant was built in accordance with the Decree of the Head of State by the individual enterprise Beýik-Bina. Also involved was Germany's largest engineering company, KHD Humboldt Wedag, which supplies equipment and services, including process design and project management, to the global cement industry.
The new plant is equipped with advanced equipment from the world's leading manufacturers, which will permit the production of high-quality cement of the popular brands PTs-400, PTs-500, PTs-600 and sulfate-resistant Portland cement, which is more resistant to external natural and aggressive chemical factors.
During the construction of the facility, special attention was paid to environmentally friendly production and compliance with all necessary standards.
Let us remind that in March of this year, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov took part in the commissioning ceremony of the second stage of the Lebap cement plant with a capacity of 1 million tons of cement per year in the Koytendag etrap of Lebap velayat.
